Monster.com Success Stories

I am SO very excited to do this post – for several reasons! Of course the iPad giveaway is incredibly exciting, but even more exciting is what is going on at the Monster.com Success Stories Community! Monster Success Stories is an effort to encourage hope and optimism through the sharing of successful job-search stories and practical advice.

We all know how tough the economy is right now, but monster.com is here to help!

Monster Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: MWW) is the parent company of Monster.com, the premier global online employment solution for people seeking jobs and the employers who need great people. We’ve been doing this for over ten years, and have expanded from our roots as a “job board” to a global provider of a full array of job seeking, career management, recruitment and talent management products and services. At the heart of our success and our future is innovation: we are changing the way people think about work, and we’re helping them actively improve their lives and their workforce performance with new technology, tools and practices.

People are encouraged to go to www.success.monster.com or to www.facebook.com/monsterww and share their inspirational stories of finding just the right job on Monster.com or to share general tips and advice.

“There’s a misperception that job seekers are sacrificing the opportunity to pursue a career that leverages their passion and skills as a result of a challenging job market,” said Ted Gilvar, global chief marketing officer, Monster. “Success Stories demonstrates that our precision matching technology innovation is helping people find their calling.”

Greg Drevenstedt, road test editor for Rider Magazine, found his dream job on Monster.com on the very first day of his job search. Greg now travels the world testing and evaluating new motorcycles and gear, while writing stories and shooting video about his experiences. A video of Greg’s story is posted on the site to motivate and encourage others to share their own stories.

The site also includes video profiles of Alexis Tirado, the head blogger for Alicia Keys’ new website – IAmASuperWoman.com – and Dan Blasini, who found a job he is passionate about working with injured soldiers returning from war.

People who share stories of how they found the perfect job using Monster.com will be eligible to win one of six prize packages. Winners will be chosen on or around October 6, November 8 and December 6, 2010. For more details, go to www.success.monster.com.

About Jennifer-admin

Jennifer Regan is the owner/editor-in-chief of Eighty MPH Mom, a family-friendly blog. She is active in social media, and has years of experience with Brand Ambassadorships and campaigns. We love to help create a buzz about our favorite brands and products!

I posted a tip on Monster Community Wall about how we cannot expect to be given opportunities and achievements. We have to work hard and DESERVE the right to fill amazing position. Success is (unfortunately) not handed out for good looks (well, for the average worker…) 🙂

I did submit…Title is Amber Waves of Grain. I had no idea how to tag you…I dont even know what that means. But was fun writing it. I cant go back to see it and figure out how to tag it because it is still in process of them viewing.

The author

Thanks for stopping by! My name is Jennifer and I am the owner/author of Eighty MPH Mom. I started this website in 2009, as a hobby more or less. My kids were little and I was a "mom blog" at the time. The kids are grown and we have evolved into more of a lifestyle blog now. I reside in Central Oregon, and I love the beauty of the area. I have two children - 23 and 30 {gulp}, four cats, 1 rooster and one husband. It's kind of a madhouse around here!
